Getting one with that much unknown mileage is tough and something of a gamble. I've purchased several of my Isuzus with over 90K miles counting on their reliability and haven't yet been disappointed, but obviously if one has been abused it doesn't matter how well built it is. As for the myth of VX's having engine problems I think I've finally decided to quit trying to educate against it and maybe start supporting it. From my standpoint of being a VX collector it's ideal as it can only further depress the value, making additional acquisitions achievable. The VX is currently between $5K and $10K in pricing, so a good "crap engine" rumor should get that down to where I may finally get one of each color within a few years.
